Syllabus

Identifying the overall purpose of the course leads to specifying learning objectives. Why do this? Check out Why Write Objectives and see if you agree.

Here are more specific details on writing learning objectives.

A syllabus should include your assessment strategies. Indicate assessment projects, tests, exams, assignments, activities, etc., including their mark value and relative weighting in the overall course mark. Assessment has its own resource section -- access it here.

Use this syllabus checklist as a guide to see if you have included everything.
